  • Ecclesiastes is one of the most fascinating -- and hauntingly familiar -- books of the Old Testament. The sentiments of the main speaker of the book, a person given the name Qohelet, sound incredibly modern. Expressing the uncertainty and anxieties of our own age, he is driven by the question, Where can we find meaning in the world?But while Qohelet's question resonates with readers today, his answer is shocking. Meaningless, says Qohelet, everything is meaningless. How does this pessimistic perspective fit into the rest of biblical revelation? In this commentary Tremper Longman III addresses this question by taking a canonical-Christocentric approach to the meaning of Ecclesiastes.Longman first provides an extensive introduction to Ecclesiastes, exploring such background matters as authorship, language, genre, structure, literary style, and the book's theological message. He argues that the author of Ecclesiastes is not Solomon, as has been traditionally thought, but a writer who adopts a Solomonic persona. In the verse-by-verse commentary that follows, Longman helps clarify the confusing, sometimes contradictory message of Ecclesiastes by showing that the book should be divided into three sections -- a prologue (1:1-11), Qohelet's autobiographical speech (1:12-12:7), and an epilogue (12:8-14) -- and that the frame narrative provided by prologue and epilogue is the key to understanding the message of the book as a whole.

Old Testament Editorial Review

The "Book of Ecclesiastes New International Commentary on the Old Testament" by Longman has garnered a largely favorable reception among readers, especially among pastors, teachers, and students of biblical literature. Many reviewers laud its clear, thoughtful commentary, which they find both insightful and accessible. Throughout their engagement with the text, readers appreciate Longman's deep scholarly approach, which invites them to wrestle with the complexities of Ecclesiastes while providing fresh perspectives on its themes. Notably, Longman's interpretation diverges from traditional understandings of the text, presenting it instead as a dialogue between two distinct voices within the narrative. This innovative lens is both praised and scrutinized, with some finding it stretches their comprehension of the work in stimulating ways, while others might prefer more conventional readings. Nonetheless, readers agree that the volume is rich with interpretative gems ideal for ministry and personal study, making it a valuable resource for anyone tasked with teaching or exploring Ecclesiastes. Several reviewers specifically mention the book's engaging format and the quality of its textual notes, emphasizing its usefulness for academic courses. While some criticisms regarding Longman's approach do exist, they appear less reflective of the commentary's overall merit and more indicative of individual biases. In conclusion, Longman's commentary stands out as a robust scholarly resource that challenges prevailing viewpoints while remaining accessible and practical for both students and teachers alike. **
